After a series of controversies surrounding Serena Williams‘ former coach’s late admission of his knowledge about Simona Halep‘s doping ban saga, he has once again entered center stage. Knowing how to stay in the limelight, the 53-year-old French coach recently received a string of comments from angry fans. After labeling only two players as ‘superstars’, fans bashed him for hyping Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka.

Patrick Mouratoglou recently stated that women’s tour needs superstars like Naomi Osaka and her comeback is the best news for women’s tennis. The Frenchman expressed his confidence in the Japanese player, citing that her raw power and aggressiveness will be the key to seeing her through in her comeback journey. He even dragged the 19-year-old American talent, Coco Gauff. But what about other big names in women’s tennis?

Hyping Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka proves costly to the former coach of Serena Williams

Mouratoglou isn’t having a good time over the past few weeks. Fans didn’t look too impressed with Serena Williams’ former coach’s recent remark. Here’s how they reacted to Patrick Mouratoglou’s statement.

One of the fans took a jibe at him citing, “Enjoy your time before being banned from the sport, fraud.”

While another feels that no one cares about what Serena Williams’ former coach thinks.

Adding sarcasm to the series of comments, another one said, “At least he didn’t mention Emma Raducanu.”

Finding more ways to take a jibe at Mouratoglou, another one wondered why he was still talking after ruining Simona Halep’s career.

This comment summed up the overall feeling by asking the important question of why were other significant players not named.

The 4 time Grand Slam winner, Naomi Osaka is making a comeback at the Brisbane International, which is scheduled from 31 December to January 7. This would serve as a good preparatory camp for the Japanese ahead of the mega event at Melbourne Park. Whereas Coco Gauff has already made her ambitions clear.

Coco Gauff eyes for a Grand Slam victory at the ‘Land Down Under’

The 19-year-old Gauff made history earlier this year by clinching her maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open. Now, she is looking for her second major title at the Australian Open. Last time she took an early exit from the event by losing at the fourth round. Can see turn the tables this time around?

Well, she is the first teenager to win the US Open after Serena Williams triumphed in 1999. So, in terms of potential, she has plenty of it. But can she hold her temperament? That’s the question of the hour. As the new season is just a few days away, all eyes are on young tennis stars.

Patrick Moutatoglou will be really hoping to see Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff fly high in 2024. Until that happens, he might be surrounded by the rage of several tennis fans. What are your predictions? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
